iPad 2 release could slip to June, says Taiwanese source

The eagerly-awaited Apple iPad 2 launch could now be delayed until June, according to a Taiwanese source.

As reported by Reuters, Yuanta Securities have sent out a note about iPad manufacturer Hon Hai suggesting that there are bottlenecks in the production that will delay the second coming (of the iPad, at least).

The follow up to the huge hit that was the original iPad is perhaps the most anticipated, and certainly most hyped, launch of 2011, with Apple keen to build on the success of its first foray into the tablet market.

New issues

Yuanta Securities' note suggests that 'new issues' will mean that the wait for the device will be delayed into the summer.

"Our checks suggest new issues are being encountered with the new production process and it is taking time to resolve them," Yuanta's head of downstream tech equities, Vincent Chen, wrote in the note on Tuesday.

The iPad 2 rumours include some fairly strong suggestions that the device will feature cameras and have a better resolution screen.
